Self-directed learning through discovery, personal learning environments and networks, facilitation, mentoring, guide on the side,... important ideas supported by the Engineering4Kids collection. View random pages. Searched by keyword. Moving through topics starting with the basic concepts and progress to more complex theories and applications related to engineering and what engineers do.
Start with general engineering ideas, machines encountered in daily life, and household tools along with some high school STEM courses. You can follow this path or create one of your own.
Routes, paths and playlists
Want some guidance? Routes, paths and playlists are loosely structured alternatives to totally self-directed exploration.
Route - start here and work through increasingly complex examples with a topic
Path - more like a hub with lots of different paths that are related to the central topic - Aviation Merit Badge
Playlists - selection of examples around a theme but not in any particular sequence
Practical information
Engineering Toolbox - resources, tools and basic information for engineering and design of technical applications, alphabetical list of "tools" engineers need to reference to do their work.
Artifact - an object formed by humans, anything created by humans which gives information about the culture of its creator and users
